法律行為成立后、生效前之一般形式拘束力,基于自己責任之私法基本理念,在現行民法相關諸規定中多有體現,常為其隱含之基本立場。其亦具有減輕法律適用者論證負擔的作用,且更能維護法之安定性。此外,其在比較法上亦不無依據。故對之應持肯認態度,《民法總則》第136條第2款、第119條均應解釋為此種一般形式拘束力之規定。此種一般形式拘束力,亦具有體系輻射效應,在若干疑難問題之處理上可發揮積極作用。

The legal act has a formal binding force from its initiation,even if it has not taken effect.This binding force is rooted in the idea of self-responsibility and embodied by plenty of provisions in civil law.It also relieves the burden of argument in legal application and keeps legal stability.This sort of binding force is also implied by some foreign law systems.Article 136 paragraph 2 and Article 119 of General Provisions of the Civil Law shall be regarded as the regulation for this formal binding force.It has an influence throughout the civil law and plays a role in handling difficult or complicated cases.
